#10982 closed Patch - Bug Fix (fixed)

Hardware Profile submission fails when MYTHCONFDIR is set

Reported by: Lawrence Rust <lvr@…> Owned by: Raymond Wagner
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.26
Component: MythTV - General Version: 0.25-fixes
Severity: medium Keywords: hardware profile MYTHCONFDIR
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

If the MYTHCONFDIR EV is set to a directory other than the default ~/.mythtv then sendProfile.py fails and the user is unable to submit their hardware profile: 

smolt.UUIDError: Unable to save UUID to /home/lvr/.mythtv/HardwareProfile/hw-uuid.  Please run once as root.
sendProfile.py exited with error 1: FAILURE

The attached patch fixes config.py to use MYTHCONFDIR if it's set. The bug also affects 0.25.

In c96ded16b2d01a2d11e252a09103004843bf7438/mythtv:

Use config detection in Python bindings for stored smolt data.

This makes the Python bindings to store the location of the config.xml
it used for database access. This path is then used by the smolt
hardware profile for storage of its UUID files, replacing the hard coded
use of $HOME.

Fixes #10982
